I start this discourse with a little trepidation in my being that you will understand the next step. But my hope is that you will understand and come back for more. So I will give you the meat that you have been waiting for. But before I begin, I would like to insist that you take a moment and center in your heart. I will come to you now in your inner Being. Call to me to assist you in the understanding of IS and More. Call to me to place my electronic Presence over you and allow you to feel this teaching as an expression in IS.
[Beloved Jesus, I call to you now to come into my heart. Be with me, one in heart in the love of God and place your electronic Presence over me. Help me to feel this teaching as an expression in IS and understand it and More. I am grateful. Amen.]
In order for you to understand what I am about to relate to you, you must set aside your preconceived notions that I have come to usurp your inner wisdom, and understanding you have gleaned from many years studying these teachings or any spiritual teaching. This perceived notion is not my intention and to displace that which you already know, but to build upon that knowledge you already have with a greater and deeper understanding.
Some of you may have had many spiritual experiences in your life that have given you the wisdom and knowledge to recognize the truth when you came across it. Others of you have experienced doubt in my first discourses in this series, and I understand your doubt. But in order to relieve you of any doubt, I must take away your ability to reason and discern on your own, and that I will not do. The effort you apply to understand these teachings on your own will be enough to allow me to enter your world and assist you. But if you do not put forth the effort, there is nothing for me to multiply. Therefore, I will have to leave you to struggle on your own. But if you call to me, I will give you the understanding you have gleaned to you with a return in More. If you are too proud to ask for my assistance, you will have to bear that lack of understanding because you will not get these teachings through intellectual reasoning—althoughyou can try.
As a child you thought as a child, but eventually you put away childish things and developed a desire for more intellectual challenges. It was natural to develop a desire to learn new things and try on many different garments and disguises for who you thought you were or wanted to be. In the process of trying on many different garments, you may have found some that fit you very well, while others were quite uncomfortable. When you arrived out of your state of childishness, you kept some of the garments you really liked and felt comfortable in. These became the backbone of your wardrobe, which you put on either frequently, or depending how many garments are in your wardrobe, infrequently.
But imagine that someone came in and took all those garments out of your wardrobe and told you that you could no longer wear them and then gave you some new garments. Would you consider trying them on for size? Or would you demand your old garments returned to you? Would you only try on the new garments if you could keep the old ones?
Consider these teachings as new garments that I am giving you, but I am asking you to hand me now your old garments. Would you, or could you do it? If you stop to think of my question to you, a lot of thoughts might have just passed through your mind. You could feel leery that I am trying to trick you. What if I handed you some garments I knew would not fit? You would then be stuck with them if you had already passed over your old garments. What if they all fit, but you didn’t like them? Again, if you had already handed over your old garments, you would be stuck wearing these garments you did not like.
It is all understandable that there could be some trepidation on your part that would cause you to hesitate. But I am not asking you here to give up your old garments with these new teachings. I am only asking you to try them on. If they fit and you like the garments, then you may pass me those older garments that you have worn for so long and are outdated. But I am warning you, that you cannot keep the old ones and entertain wearing the new ones. The reason I say this is because I would like you to see that what I am about to bring you will not fit in your old wardrobe. If you try to mix and match the garments, either for variety or for looks, it will not work. Either the old ones go, or the new ones must be rejected.
The reason I am warning you is that if you take these new garments and you do try to wear them as an addition to your old wardrobe, keeping your old garments, you will find a split in your being that will eventually cause you to throw the new garments in the garbage can outside your home, and lay down “My IS” opportunity as a lie. And you will keep the old garments as your comfortable truth that might be based on part truth and part lie. You will also suffer the consequences of developing a great fear and mistrust in me, as well as in my messenger delivering this message.
So when I speak of my trepidation, I speak from my concern that some of you may not be able to surrender your old garments in the state of consciousness you are in. And since each one of you are at varied levels of being who you are in I AM THAT I AM, I cannot predict how some of you will respond. For the most part, I know what you have done in the past and what your potential is for the future. And I know that some of you are not ready to give up your old garments. So I am asking you to consider that surrender is the hallmark of a chela of the ascended hosts. We ask you to surrender your human creation, and we give you back in return our guidance, love, support and wisdom. But we will not interfere with your free will, or usurp your own developing relationship with your I AM Presence and Christ self. We give you just what you need—and no less than what your own God Self allows us to give you. And then we retreat to allow you to develop at your own pace and under your own discretion.
But the more you are ensconced in the lies of the physical unreality, where the truth of God is tied up with the lies of anti-Christ, the more you will not be able to recognize the reality of truth and the see the lie. If you rely strictly on your Christ self and I AM Presence, when your identity is tied up with the ego that has replaced your true identity, then you will be thinking you are following the inner guidance of your Higher Self, when in reality you have been tricked into following your own ego, dressed up in its own garments that are a disguise of I AM. Now you are caught in a world of unreality while you believe you are yet following the reality of I AM.
This sad state of affairs is beyond our ability to interfere, with your free will telling us to stay away and that you only want the guidance of your I AM. Therefore, we of the ascended host cannot help you. But we will try to send those who have had similar circumstances to help you. If you reject them as well, there is little else we can do but let your life run its course – and hold the immaculate concept for you – so by the end of your physical sojourn in this life you will have tired of being alone and not fitting in anywhere. And that is because you can never find the truth of the reality of Being I AM in any place, as your ego leads you here and there to entertain the many who hobnob with those from the circle of power elite fallen angels.
My heart goes out to you who struggle with these teachings and find no recourse but to turn abruptly from them in disgust because your intellectual reasoning says they make no sense. Although my heart goes out to you, I must be about my Father’s business, and he has sent me to give you what he IS. If you do not want to understand my Father, your Father, you must do what you think you must do to protect yourself—although I have already warned you that mixing garments can cause a division in your being. And if you mix your old garments with the many lies you will find out among the hobnobbing, you will still incur the division either here or there.
Rather than clinging to the old garments, my suggestion to you is to ask your Father to give the new garments to you one at a time, so that you may make the transition a little easier. In this way you may eventually hand over your whole wardrobe, but you will not attain the full mastery of one who surrenders from the onset. But in this way, you will not end up with the division of your Being that will occur if you will not surrender and choose to mix and match in the future. You are already beyond just keeping your old garments or you would not be here reading this discourse. So I know whereof I speak, and I am not making it up as go. After all, I am an ascended being who sees the foibles of the human ego and has lived in your world long enough to have seen every manner of delusion. The difference is, I am here on the ascended side and you are still on the unascended side. So maybe you might consider that I know more than you do?
Therefore, we will begin on my lesson now that I have spoken my mind, which I am sure you realize is one with the Christ mind and even one with the Buddha mind. After all, I have been working from the ascended realm for a long time in earth years.
The lesson is about IS Being, or to help you understand a little better: Being IS. You are IS as I AM. Therefore, conceive of yourself as I AM with the ability to create more through IS Being. You have been studying these teachings long enough to have internalized some measure of understanding that Being is a very necessary step into IS. Before you can go out and create you must first make a plan. If not on paper, at least in your mind. You draw up a design, you fill it with ideas and visions. You take that design and you feel its returning pleasure through your Being. And then you may take that design and readjust it a bit until you really like returning to it again and again. Then you may start to implement it by endowing your light and energy to bring it into reality.
For each and every one of you it might take varying times to bring that vision and pattern into physical manifestation. It would also take time when that vision goes beyond the physical ways and means to create it. In other words, you have to draw to you certain supplies and components to create the whole picture, if you have not all the components assembled before you begin. If you bake a cake but do not have the flour, eggs or milk in your kitchen, you will have to run to the store to get the ingredients and then come back and cook it. But if you had the ingredients there already it might only take you half the time it would take, if you had to run out for the ingredients before you began.
Now with creating from the IS, all the components are there. Everything you need is in IS. But before you can create from IS you must have assembled the components of Being. And what we have taught you in these last few years, through these two messengers we have sponsored, is that you can only Be when you have surrendered any attempts to control yourself or others. Being is not about controlling anything. Being is completely the opposite of control, although I hesitate to use that word as some might think this is a false teaching because there is no duality in the reality of God. But that is another teaching in another time, so I will use the word opposite, but note my intent is not to confuse the human duality with Being.
Being is about letting go and finding yourself immersed in that letting go within the reality of I AM. Therefore, the hallmark of Being is really surrendering. When in the process of trying to Be, you may find yourself struggling and struggling to find the way of Being. In fact, you may try very hard to Be and find that you are getting nowhere. Well, you can see now that the reason you have gotten nowhere is that you have struggled, which is a dualistic event in the earth realm and has no existence or reality in God. Therefore, it is a human creation, or a creation of the anti Mind of God. We have no need to struggle in heaven, as we agree even when we disagree. In other words, we always agree that there are differences of opinion. When there are differences in how to implement a plan, we agree that those differences have a purpose and we look for a way to challenge ourselves to come up higher and discover and uncover some new idea that we can agree upon.
In your world, the disagreement takes on shape and form of right and wrong, “I am right and you are wrong” discussions. Eventually someone leaves in a huff because they are perceived as the one wrong or the one turns on the other and wars break out. The disagreements on earth are so predominant, that we have even seen it of late in our discussion groups within this teaching. Even within our sponsored organizations, where we have given our chelas every tool imaginable to deal with conflict, there still are unresolved issues between our students.

We would like you to consider that if one can do it, then all can do it. And what we do in heaven is very well possible while yet trapped in the realm of duality of the lesser kind. And what I mean by that is that you have lessened the power of God to such a low state with the lies of the carnal mind you have entertained in your Beings, that you have little or no contact with the Being that you are. Therefore, you might think it preposterous that you can create, even in the manner I did while in the life of Jesus the Christ.
The Deluge Gustave Doré
Some of you here have scorned the idea that it is even necessary to follow in my footsteps and do the miracles that I did, as what practicality is it to you to walk on water today? Well, need I remind you that there have been continuing floods throughout this planet of yours in increasing frequency for the last several decades? I would think that if you were caught in a flood zone and no one could rescue you from the roof of your flooded house, that you would appreciate you could walk to safety!
But regardless of some of your disdain for the idea that walking on water is a necessity in your life, I am going to teach you some facts of creation and then you may choose to develop those abilities with these facts, or you may discard them as unnecessary. I am not here to force you to read these discourses. You have your free will. But some of you might like me to get down to business and give you some meat to chew on. So I will continue on.
The IS is a very creative reality. When you do understand Being you will quickly see that the possibilities through Being become endless, when you add the components and assemble them into the IS. You do not create IS, but you create the components out of the IS which create IS. You see there is nothing that is not IS, therefore even that which you think is not IS is. And you must use the IS to even discover that IS is a reality.
Before I go further let me clarify that IS is a reality that IS. There is nothing outside of IS in reality. Everything outside of IS is unreal. Therefore, you may note in the Bible that Almighty God gave Jacob a new name* “Israel” in order that he and all his sons, and all his son’s families and beyond, would have the name of IS as the reality of their Being while yet trapped in the duality of human creation. With this pattern of Is real as their main component of descent, they were called the sons and daughters of IS.
You who claim to be of one of these twelve tribes would either be a son or daughter of IS by default. It is your earthly heritage. The twelve tribes are spread out among the nations of Europe, America and Australia, as well as the Middle East. And today you find some of the biggest wars on the planet fought between those tribes who came from a son of Israel and thus IS. Why would IS fight with IS within itself? Well, only if IS in them was a false is, thereby rejecting the IS in another because it does not vibrate the same truth as the is in them. If the IS was real in both, then neither would have or seen the need to fight and argue over anything, as they would see that I in their brethren was the same I in them. But if the I of their brethren was the “i” in imitation of I, well then, there could be some mixed garments being worn and division would occur in the one body of I’s.
Do you see what I am getting at? The I’s together form IS.** When they stand alone, as a separate “I” they no longer form IS. They no longer see their connection to IS. They no longer know IS, but only the “i” over here that stands alone against the “i” over there, who may or may not agree with them in what is real. War is caused by the sense of separation. When all separation stops, war will stop.
When you disagree about something, you need to step back and see where the “i” has replaced the IS. Look long and hard at your own sense of separation from the one who is arguing with you. If you cannot see your connection in IS, then you must question your motive in communicating with that someone. Likewise, if someone is communicating with you from the “i” and you are trying to communicate from the IS, you may never come together in ISIS. When you dot your “i” as the identity of who you are, you are standing alone with the center of oneness placed outside yourself. You are the center of your reality when you separate yourself from IS. And that center of reality is a lie that has caused many a war and a loss of harmony and peace in and outside the home of the one caught in that lie.
Before you can come back into oneness, if you see yourself as the “i” you need to displace yourself from being the center of your world. If you are the center, then it stands to reason that everything revolves around you. But if you are the IS then everything IS the center. There are no islands.
I have given you some keys here to oneness. Before you can create from the IS you must center yourself in the true reality of God. If you try and create anything that is real outside that oneness, you may end up using the black magic Milarepa used to control others. If you create from IS you will be creating from the white light. If you create from the “i” you may find yourself making grave karma and the need to build houses and tear them down again and again until you learn that that “i,” with the dot as separate and above you, has separated you from the oneness with anything in IS.
If you would like to create with me from the IS that I AM, then first look inside yourself for any dots that separate you from AM, which you may take as a hint that if you feel separated from me, an Ascended Master (A.M.) you have doted your I and you are standing alone (all one). You see that you yourself are all the one, whereas if you see yourself as one you are ‘a part’ of the one, not the center of the one.
Now that I have cleared up the cause of conflict, you may consider the act of creating as above and beyond yourself. Therefore, you are not the doer, but one with the doer. If you think you can stand alone and create from your center, go ahead and try. But the only creations you will create will have come from the black magicians who have empowered you with the energies of the IS they have stolen from those who have placed them above and separate from them, thereby giving them their power from the One. And this occurs because for a time you will have the energies to create a certain distance from yourself, which is very small in order that you do not have the ability to harm others. And if you continue to see yourself as apart from the One, eventually your energies will lessen so as to protect yourself from making karma – and sometimes heavy karma – as you give your light to the black magicians in and out of embodiment. So the further you move away from oneness with IS, the less light you will receive from I AM and the less abilities you will have to create. The more you associate yourself as part of the I AM, the greater circumference you will be able to create in with the Light of IS.
Now I have given you some foundational understanding of the manipulation of energy. You are either creating in darkness or you are creating in light. There is no gray area here, there is only a widening or lessening of the circle of creativity around you. While you are still in the frame of mind of separateness from IS, you will be limited in your ability to create sustaining – and life transforming – feats such as stopping a flood or turning around a hurricane and redirecting it away from harm’s way.
Now I would like to introduce you to some concepts so that you may create with IS what is real and what IS sustaining and what IS of the Light of God. If you take a circle and you divide it in half you have a diameter half the circumference of a circle. But if you take that circle and you divide it into portions, you may have several pieces of the same size with all the same qualities of the one circle. If you take that circle and you draw a circle within the circle, you may have a circumference as little or as large as you like, up to the circumference of the outer circle. Therefore, if you divide something in half, you may have less than if you divided that circle into equal portions, because each portion has the same quality and therefore, combining the portions can reap you greater benefits and more than just dividing the circle in half.
But if you seek to stay within the original blueprint of the circle, which is a circle circumference, and draw your circle following the outlines of the original blueprint and outer circumference, you may have equal to the amount of the circle divided into portions and then combined. In other words, dividing the circle in equal portions and combining them is equal to drawing a circle within the circle all the way to the outer circumference of that original circle.
So if you would like to create within the One, you may create with as little or as much of the One as you can visualize and draw a similar pattern within the One. Or you may create combining similar portions of the One. The more you combine with the other similar patterns of the One, the greater portion of the One you will have to create with.
So you see that division, as in separating yourself from the whole where you have your half and another has their half, leaves you with less power of the whole to create with. The greatest benefit occurs when you see yourself either as one with the whole, in replica of it, or one with all the exact portions of the whole. The more you see yourself as one with all the other exact portions of the whole, the more power you have to create with.
Therefore, if you apply this picture to IS, you may see that Is may be seen as the division in half. ISIS may be seen as many exact parts of the one IS. The more IS you are one with, the greater you may create as ISIS. And the drawing of yourself as a circle of the One circle within it, is Being IS. So the potential to create with the greatest amount of power of the One is through Being IS where you are not dependent on finding and connecting to all the exact portions of the One as ISIS. You may see the potential there, but being as the world is a vast place with over seven billion souls living on it, the possibility of you being one and connecting on that level of oneness is not as good as you connecting with the One through Being.
So I will leave you with this concept to ponder for this week, as you expand your center of oneness to include the many ones of the One within it, as well as your own sense of oneness within the One, before I bring you the next key to creativity in the One. But you are the creator in your world and you have the choice at what level you would like to create from. But if you continually create from the darkness, or give the light that you have to that darkness, your opportunity to Be will terminate and the fire of IS will try your works and expose you as unreal. And that which is unreal will be consumed in the fire of I AM THAT I AM, not through God's will but through his Law.
Note: In the earlier lessons on IS, we were presented the IS as "Is" with a small s. In this lesson, we have graduated to the understanding of IS as both IS and Is. Jesus has given us a higher understanding here of IS and the difference. So those early lessons were changed to reflect this new understanding. Therefore lesson four is also called Being Is. But here we are initiated into the school of Maitreya's IS, My IS, ISIS and IS Being. Lorraine
*Gen 35:10. "And God said unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel." Earlier, we find Jacob wrestling with the angel and after wrestling all night, the angel says to him: "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Gen. 32:28. This shows a confusion in the possible translation work where the two references are only one occasion, but are related as two.
**If you look at I's, you may see that taking out the apostrophe, when you have two or more I's together, leave you with the components of ISis. Isis is a most beloved female goddess in Egyptian mythology. But the Ascended Masters have revealed that the basis of this goddess was the introduction of the inner occult teachings of IS. And the representation of Isis believed to be represented as the archetypal wife and mother is only half of the whole. Isis is not just Mother, but Father God as well.
